Very full featured drone for a great price
Amazing drone. This is my first FPV drone with GPS and the features that you get for this price are really amazing. I had no trouble at all picking up between 8 and 11 satellites. The brushless motors are powerful and very quiet. I was taking off and landing in my backyard and my cat was just sitting a few feet away watching the whole process and was not worried at all. It was pretty funny to watch. The video quality is very good. I can't wait to improve my flying skills and get some higher altitude videos. Read the instructions carefully - don't fly in GPS mode with less than 6 satellites. It takes a minute for the drone and remote to register them so be patient. Pay attention to the compass calibration too. Following these steps led to a great flying experience.

Worth the $$
This drone is legit. Right out of the box you can tell this is no toy as it has some weight to it. Mine came with a few accessories I wasn't expecting which was nice. Mine came with the sun shade and rechargeable battery for the remote. That is awesome because I was expecting to run through AA batteries like crazy since the remote is very power hungry. Smooth flying and a very stable drone. I bought the antenna upgrade kit which I highly recommend, it will double or triple your range. All features work well with only a minor exception with follow me. That works most of the time. Because this has brushless motors it's very quiet and will give you a much longer lifespan than brushed motors. I chose this because I don't have a smart phone for a screen and not too many makes come with one built in. Like all the videos you've watched always start out in GPS mode. It's just a good habit to get into. I also purchased extra drone batteries because while 16-20 minutes in the air is nice, it's almost not worth the drive to the park or field you may have to fly in. With 3-4 batteries I can fly for an hour +. Please don't break any FAA laws or disturb neighbors, we don't want them putting more restrictions on us. It's limited to 250m in height from the factory and while a simple firmware hack can eliminate it I again don't recommend it. The FAA restricts us to 400' anyway. Manufacture claims stock range is 300m but with the antenna upgrade you can expect 1000m+ so long as your remote has some line of sight. If an eagle snatched mine out of the sky I would buy this one again that night.

Too Good to be True
I was really excited to see what this drone was capable of. Let me begin by saying I’ve had the drone 2 days. In that time, day one I was having a blast, flying my new drone. Then, without explanation one of the propellers stoped working. After taking the entire drone apart I found that a wire had become detached. No crashes, no hard landings, no neglect or abuse, just stopped working and needed repair. After having to solder the wire, I was up and running again. However, after a few minutes of flight, the remote stopped working. Battery life is good, totally a fault in the remote. So, this drone has had 2 days, essentially 30 minutes of flying, without any crashes, and has broke twice. Now, because the remote won’t work I’m left with a drone I can’t fly. Also, now I’m left having to try and find another remote as Hubsan doesn’t have one available. I realize why you can buy so many spare parts! I will probably spend my money elsewhere and write this drone off as a complete waste of money unfortunately, rather than try and find and spend any further money on a another remote. I really wouldn’t by this drone, I’m definitely sorry I did, and will look elsewhere. There has to be better drones for your money, definitely not this one.

looks good...flys...but not easy to figure out...
finally got mine, packaged good , thou ive not flown it yet cuz the batteries where dead, so they are charging...i thought this would come with a sb card but it didnt...so i need to find out what size card i need to buy...soon as i can see how it flys...I cant even get it to work...dont know if im not doing something right or its broken....hope i an find someone to help me with this...UPDATE: well, got it to fly... somewhat and all ready broke a propeller.....but only flies if the gps is off...so thats another thing i need to figure out....seems to work good, from what i can tell, there is no shut off switch on the drone its self...so i have to keep unplugging the battery...not good.....and i have to keep recallibrating it each time i do this...which is not good...im gonna try and find more videos and see if they can help with all this...over all...i wish i had just bought another one like the one i got my husband...on/off...fly...dont fly...so easy and simple...this one...well sorry , its a bit of a pain, but hopefully once i can understand how it works...it will get better...I give it 4 stars only becuz of how much of a pain it is to understand the manual and get it up and running...video did help thou...lot better than the manual...

AVIS MITIGÉ MAIS PLEIN DE QUALITÉS QUAND MÊME
The media could not be loaded. Bonjour,Beau produit très connu et à la bonne réputation non usurpée.Cependant mon avis est mitigé, car il y a quand même quelques lacunes, notamment dues à des images noires sur la notice, donc inexploitables, de même que pas mal d'erreurs de traduction du Chinois dans les autres langues, et donc pas seulement du Chinois au Français.De même qu'il est difficile de savoir quelle version on a reçu, car si mon carton est bien siglé "X4 Air" il est sous-titré "Standard Édition" et de fait si il a bien une carte mère de Air, il n'a pas le module Wifi sur la caméra, ce qui veut dire qu'il vous sera impossible de le binder avec votre application Smartphone, X Hubsan, que ce soit en Android ou en Apple.Ceci, même si il envoie bien les images de retour vidéo en 5,8GHz et que vous recevez bien ces images en qualité fort correctes ma foi, sur votre radiocommande, une H901A classique, plus facilement transportable dans un sac à dos que la volumineuse Pro H906A.La qualité des images enregistrées sur votre Micro SD Card que vous aurez pris soin de glisser dans le logement réservé à cet effet côté gauche centre inférieur de la canopy de votre H501S-S A; c'est la version que j'ai reçue et que me donne le code sous le ventre de l'appareil; va vous étonner, par sa qualité, sachant que sa minuscule caméra n'est ni orientable, ni stabilisée, et encore moins en 4K mais seulement en vrai de vrai 1080P contrairement à la concurrence du créneau équivalent.Si vous volez en prenant soin de ne pas agiter l'appareil en le pilotant avec doigté et des mouvements doux, ce que permet la télécommande Revell très précise; en choisissant un jour sans vent, ce sera top, et comme je l'ai dit vous en serez agréablement surpris.Je ne sais pas ce que donnera ma vidéo ni même si elle passera, sachant qu'au moment où j'écris ce commentaire l'écran reste noir à l'endroit de la vidéo envoyée, mais je précise qu'elle a été réalisée un jour de vent force 4 avec des rafales.À ce sujet, je précise que ce drone est remarquable de stabilité et de précision, si tant est que l'on ait pris soin de soigner son calibrage et son bind de démarrage SANS LE BOUGER avant de terminer en suivant par la calibration que l'appareil vous demandera, si il vous en demande une et ce, en respectant le sens de rotation indiquée par les leds sous les moteurs qui tourneront elles aussi dans un sens à respecter.Laissez lui le temps avant de décoller, d'engranger et mémoriser SA position et CELLE DE LA RADIO qui lui seront indispensables À NE PAS vous faire un "toilet bowl effect" au moment où vous allez envoyer le mode sans tête parce que vous l'aurez perdu de vue, ou encore un joli "fly away" au moment où vous lui demanderez de rentrer à la maison, surtout si au premier décollage vous étiez à trois kilomètres...Bref c'est un très bon appareil, qui vous apportera beaucoup de satisfaction tout autant que de bonnes et mauvaises surprises, si vous ne savez pas encore exactement ce que vous faites et pourquoi, comment vous devez le faire.Bon achat, fort dommage que Hubsan n'ait jamais équipé cet appareil d'une meilleure caméra stabilisée et mobile, et que de surcroit ils aient multiplié les versions autant de types d'appareil du même nom, que de firmwares incompatibles entre eux, de modèles de radios, et de difficultés de mises à jour avec des méthodes différentes suivant les types de radio et firmwares à mettre à jour.Je recommande aux passionnés qui savent où ils mettent doigts et pieds.Cet appareil, même avec des performances limitées volontairement par les derniers firmwares à cause de restrictions législatives Européennes et Françaises, très connu, reste un bon achat.

Auspacken und Spaß haben!
Als erstes die Verpackung! Bis auf die eigentliche Drohne, ist alles in Pappe verpackt gut und stabil, die Lieferung kam in einem perfekten Zustand an.Das Handbuch (büchlein) ist in mehreren Sprachen beigelegt auch auf Deutsch.Rotorblätter müssen noch schnell montiert werden, Blatt A auf Ausleger A und die B Blätter auf die B Arme, schnell gemacht problemlos erledigt.Akkus mit beigefügtem Ladegerät laden und dann ab an die frische Luft.Nachdem nun die Drohne startklar ist, muss noch der 6 Achsen Gyro kalibriert werden und es kann los gehen.Die Drohne startet sofort die Rotoren, bleibt sauber auf Drehzahl und am Boden, die Steuerung reagiert direkt und ordentlich, das Display in der Fernbedienung ist gut ablesbar und gibt einem alle wichtigen Informationen.Die coming home Funktion, bringt die Drohne automatisch fast bis an den Startpunkt zurück und auch der Kopflosmodus funktioniert gut, macht mich aber verrückt, da ich mich ganz schnell, an die Flugbewegungen gewöhnt habe.Mein Fazit: Top Drohne für Anfänger wie mich und meine 8 Jährige Tochter, funktioniert bestens und ist gut zu steuern! (war heute definitiv mein erster Drohnenflug und bleibt nicht der letzte)Bitte daran denken, alles was man fliegt auch diese kleine Drohnen, benötigen eine Versicherung, die bei einer Kontrolle der Polizei, vorgezeigt werden muß, diese Drohne bnötigt aufgrund des Gewichts über 250 gramm, noch eine Plakette zur Kennzeichnung!

Espectacular. Mi preferido
Me encantó. Vuelo muy estable. Compacto. Fácil montaje. Buena calidad de materiales. Muchas opciones. Muy buenas fotos. Rápido y ágil.Lo perdí volando donde no debía (y hasta ahí puedo leer...) Creo que me precipité al elevarlo, con viento, anocheciendo y sin que llegara a tener a tope de señal GPS, y cuando le dí al return to home no respondía (sin estar tan lejos como para no recibir señal). Por mucho que corrí detrás de él, ya no lo pude alcanzar. Posteriormente me han dicho que debería haber actualizado firmware...!!!!!!????Es posible que me vuelva a comprar el mismo modelo...

The BEST beginner cruiser style Quadcopter complete kit for the price bar none!
An incredible drone - especially at this price. I don't think there's a better all-in one solution out there for even close to this cost. A wide range of control difficulties, a good durability and outstanding (though not magical - stay realistic) flight times.Controls:There's a wide range of 'Flight modes' Available. Manual, Altitude hold mode and GPS mode. They're all effectively what they say on the tin. Manual gives you all the control (though some tinkering may be needed if you're looking for total DIY freestyle quad type flying - if that meant nothing to you then please ignore!) and is the hardest of the modes to fly, as all of the adjustments (think counteracting wind, etc) have to be done by yourself. Unless you're very experienced or are feeling very risky and looking to progress to faster freestyle or racing drones, this mode is probably not for you. Manual mode does offer the fastest and most agile flying, but, again, it's difficult to get started with and difficult to master. Manual mode if you did want to try it, is the only way to fly your quad if you cannot get GPS signal, and must be enabled via the settings available via the controller - you won't accidentally activate it.Altitude hold mode is the second easiest flight mode (not including the 'follow me' feature). Saying that, it's massively easier to control when compared to manual mode. Altitude hold mode does just that - holds altitude. In wind, the quad may move vertically up/downwards the slightest amount, but it's nothing you can't correct easily. The biggest issue you'll have in this mode if you're a beginner is fighting wind horizontally at low altitudes, which, until you're more experienced, is where I personally recommend you keep your quad to avoid getting carried away and loosing your investment. It's not particularly hard in most low-mild winds, and will give you a flight time of (in my experience) approximately 23 minutes, which if you don't know, is very impressive for any quad. If you get into long distance flying - and please make sure you're aware of Civil Aviation Authority requirements if you do - you'll get the best distance on a single charge from altitude mode due to the GPS not holding you back, although it is inherently riskier and requires competence and some level of experience to control. I, personally, have been able to achieve up to 4x the advertised 300m range on a single battery (ensuring I had spotters along the way, and in accordance to the drone code). This is stellar for the price, truly remarkable battery life and range. Tl;Dr - Altitude mode does what it says on the tin, allows you to fly fast and semi safely, gives fantastic battery life and range, but caution is needed.GPS Mode. First off, this is an very nice feature to be included at this price. Secondly, it works very well. In GPS mode, the quad locks itself in a 3d space. It automatically counteracts mild and even stongish winds, although I wouldn't recommend flying if you don't feel comfortable with the weather conditions at a particular time. GPS mode requires waiting for 6 satellites to pair with the quad before it'll allow you to arm the quad and fly - but the on screen display will tell you if you can't figure out why it won't arm. You're given a constant live feed of telemetry from the quad in all modes, including the exact GPS co-ordinates of yourself and the quad, and the number of satellites you're connected to, so you'll know when there's enough. If you're just starting to get into long range flying, or just want an easy, fun, reliable flight close to yourself ir far away, GPS mode is the place to go. This quad shines in GPS mode. Anyone and everyone, including my 64 year old dad with 0 experience, can pick up GPS mode flying in no time.Return to home:What if you get lost? There's a GPS return to home feature which will first fly the quad back to your location horizontally, maintaining it's altitude (unless it's under 10m, in which case it will first ascend to over 10m), and will then land itself nearby, always, in my experience, within 2-3 metres of your location. Note that on older firmwares the quad returns to the location it was originally armed and calibrated, however the newest firmware, which mine shipped with, returns to the transmitter (controller) location as long as it is available. If the quad looses signal of the controller, it will automatically return to the last known location and land, which is a nice, potentially wallet saving touch. Battery life here is about 20 minutes, still very impressive.Video feed:The quad uses a 5.8ghz video transmitter and reciever to provide a live video feed. When flying long range, this video feed will drop out long before the telemetry and controls do - however I typically found myself returning home due to battery life before the video lost signal. The image quality is surprisingly good, and the signal strength is impressive. Depending on where you fly, you may want to adjust the frequency by a few MHz to avoid interference from (for example) local fast wifi. This can be done via the settings on the on screen display in 5MHz increments. Overlayed on the videi is, as previously mentioned, telemetry information about both the quad and the transmitter. Battery remaining (both for the quad and tx), altitude, distance, heading, mode selected, satellite connections are all neatly arranged around the edges of the screen. Typically I fly my quad down to 6.8-6.9 volts. Additionally to the live video, the quad records to an SD card (you'll need to get one separately or re purpose one from an old phone perhaps? ensure it's high speed e.g class 10) kept onboard the drone meaning that a high def video can be recorded. The video is great for hobbyists, it's good enough that objects are clear and sharp, but it's not commercial grade - you'll need to shell out hundreds more for that. That said, it's nothing to scoff at - it's HD and very much watchable, great for showing your family and friends, or just fr keeping yourself as a record. Still images are effectively the same, way better than you'd expect for the price, HD, clear, but not commercially viable in most situations. You'll be plenty happy, my words here probably don't do it justice.You get spare props in the box, a full set, 2 clockwise and 2 counter clockwise. As long as you're sensible, you'll rarely need to replace these. However, if you do crash a lot, spares for this quad are readily available all over the internet. Not just spares, but additions. Note that these additional parts may (assume will) void any warranty you have entirely - but there are landing gear, prop guard, battery enhancement additions and mods available with a quick search - even a long range antenna mod with about 5 minutes work. NOTE - I cannot recommend this unless you understand you WILL void any warranty you have and you're liable for any damage you cause. I personally have performed range, battery, landing gear and prop guard mods, but none of these are required to have a great time with this quad, and my review is of the quad before I started to tinker with it. However, if you're an obsessive tinkerer like me, this quad is fantastic to start on.To summarise, you'll have a fantastic time with this quad, way more fun than you're paying for, the learning curve is tiny and the quality of everything is fantastic for what you pay. A brilliant gateway into quadcopters/multicopters in general that you'll always be able to have a fantastic time with even if you don't become obsessed and experienced with the brilliant, welcoming and friendly culture around them.Too Long, Didn't Read:If you're getting a quad, and this is your price range, get this one.
